The Promise Principle | Mark Johnson & Stew Ballinger

Apple Valley

Saturday at 7:00 AM

You are welcome here! This is a "join at anytime" men's group. If you are looking for a deeper connection with God, this group is for you. God desires that we overcome being ruled by our thoughts and feelings, which are highly influenced by our circumstances — family, work, health, or temptation. 2 Peter 1:3–4 tells us that we can actually do this! It comes from learning to respond to God's promises in His Word and through prayer. This is the purpose of The Promise Principle Men's Lifegroups. Whether you’re still exploring faith in Christ, or you have been a Christian for many years, you’ll experience what we believe Jesus meant when He called His disciples to change the world by discovering and responding to His promises, truths, and commands. Click here to read more about The Promise Principle and see our weekly reading plan: This group will be for an hour on Saturday mornings at 7:00 - 8:00 AM at Panera Bread 15052 Gleason Path - Apple Valley - EXCEPT the Saturday of a scheduled AV Campus Men's Breakfast BRING a Bible, Notebook, and Pen or Highlighter(s).

Monday at 9:30 AM

Join us for our Winter/Spring semester as we study Hebrews: A Faith That Endures. Hebrews 12:2-3 ...fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer [author] and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

Freedom | Crosstown Winter 2024

Crosstown

Tuesday at 6:30 PM

Freedom is a Core Group that equips you to live a victorious faith. Sometimes, we are simply unaware of lies we believe and wrong patterns of thinking that keep us stuck. In this 9-week group (Tuesdays, Feb 6-April 2), you will discover how to move forward to greater freedom in your life, faith, and future by taking a deeper look at your identity in Christ. For this season, free childcare will be offered with limited capacities on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please indicate within this registration, the name and age of the child[ren] you would like to bring to childcare for the duration of the Freedom season.
